PITTSGROVE TWP. — The Governor’s Education Transformation Task Force will hold a public hearing at the Pittsgrove Municipal Building on Monday to solicit input for its review of the state’s education regulations.

The Education Transformation Task Force was established by the governor in April to address two issues: to review all statutes and regulations that affect public education, and to recommend a new accountability system that grants more autonomy to schools while maintaining strict accountability for fiscal responsibility and student performance and safety.

As part of its review, the Task Force is seeking input from individuals and organizations on “regulations that have been placed on school districts and educational providers that are not strictly required by the express terms of any statute or federal mandate and substantially impede creativity and innovation in achieving educational, operational or fiscal effectiveness.”

A public hearing will begin at 3:30 p.m. on Monday at the Pittsgrove Municipal Building, 989 Centerton Rd.

Another public hearing will be held on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. at Seton Hall University, 400 South Orange Ave. in South Orange.

Suggestions and thoughts may also be provided to the Task Force via email at regreform@doe.state.nj.us or by mail to the Education Transformation Task Force c/o Department of Education, 100 Riverview Plaza, P.O. Box 500, Trenton, NJ 08625.
